In India people drink chai on many occasions. Whenever somebody comes to visit it is offered along with some biscuits or other snack.I could not start my day without a cup of this delicious beverage.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 ½ Tbsp. loose black tea leaves
- 3 green cardamom pods
- 1 Tsp. chai masala
- 1 inch piece ginger, grated
- Sugar to taste
Method:
In a small pot heat milk and water. Add tea leaves, chai masala, ginger, cardamom and sugar. Mix well and let come to a boil. Take off heat and let steep for 3-4 minutes. Strain and serve.
You can buy chai masala in any Indian grocery store or make your own.
To make chai masala on your own mix 6 Tbsp. ginger powder, 1 Tbsp. clove powder, 1 Tbsp. black pepper powder, 2 Tbsp. cardamom powder and 2 Tbsp. cinnamon.
